I just found your reference amusing since I've been watching a bunch of episodes of "Sliders" lately.

Thats what the reference was! I didn't recognize which is a shame because I used to watch Sliders everyday!

Well, not quite... Sliders was actually based on the tale referenced by Spence.

I love that show! I used to watch it all the time until the SciFi channel stop showing it. XD

Dude, Sliders was awesome. Right up until they started losing the original cast, at least.

Spencer, I gotta ask... Are you a science fiction geek...or are you a science fiction GEEK? <rueful grin>
I guess what I'm asking... My first thought wasn't Sliders, at all - but then again, I'm older than dirt. As you'll see in another thread, my first thought was "Well of the Worlds" by Kuttner and Moore (written in 1952). Kuttner's the same guy that wrote "Mimsy were the Borogoves," which just came out as the movie "The Last Mimsy" - the guy was super talented!
Uh...were you talking show or story?

Not that i want to rain on you parade but "Mimsy were the Borogroves" was a classic line from Jabberwocky by Lewis Carroll in "Alice through the looking Glass and what she found there" 1872. Which outdates your Kuttner by some 80 years. Its a favourite of minechershaytoute wrote:Spencer, I gotta ask... Are you a science fiction geek...or are you a science fiction GEEK? <rueful grin>

Ignore this post, i misunderstood the quote, from the 1943 book, "Mimsy were the Borogroves"Posted: Tue Jul 10, 2007 12:07 pm
I'll do no such thing - "Jabberwocky" was the very first poem I ever memorized...and I even did it for the fun of it! 'Twas brillig and the slithy toves...
See, Spencer, you've nuthin' to worry 'bout around here! We're all a bunch of reasonably harmless lunatics... <chortle>
